Dear Wikimedians,

You are warmly invited to our* final conversation hour *of the year. The topic this month is advocacy priorities for the Free Knowledge Movement. Our speaker is Rebecca MacKinnon, VP of Global Advocacy @ WMF.

We are hosting two calls in two different time zones:

-

October 28 @ 15:00 UTC (check your local time https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1666969227) -

October 30 @ 12:00 UTC (check your local time https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1667131201)

We will discuss the Foundation’s advocacy priorities, mission, staff, and collaboration opportunities. If you’ve ever wondered why the Foundation has a global advocacy team, what we do, why you have been emailed by so many people on the same team, or how you can work with us, then join us. We have answers!

The first half of the call is a presentation from the WMF Global Advocacy team. The second half will be an engaging discussion.

Details on how to join the Zoom call and how to add to the agenda can be found on Meta. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Public_policy/Conversation_hours_and_Events#Upcoming_Conversation_Hours
